This morning I juiced a small bag of carrots, one orange, and an apple for Basil. Poor thing. He's got the flu. I had a bunch of pulp that looked too good to throw into the compost heap, so I got creative and made these little carrot cake bites.

Ingredients in The Frosting:coconut watercoconut oilhoneyJICAMA!! (Now this was really creative)cinnamonwalnuts

I mixed the ingredients for The Bites, and then rolled into balls and put in the dehydrator for around 6 hours. Then made The Frosting (with JICAMA!) and put The Frosting into a pastry bag in the fridge for about an hour. Then I frosted the little carrot cake bites, and garnished with a dried cranberry.

They didn't taste exactly like carrot cake, but were super yummy. Basil even ate a few when he got home from work, and complimented them without being prompted! :)

My mouth is watering. When I saw the picture, I wondered how you made that cream/icing and then saw you used jicama!!! WOW! You are super creative, Bunny! I'm looking forward to your raw food preparation book! When's it going to be available?? :-)

Lots of love to you and extra healing love going to Basil. I hope he's well very soon.

Wow, these look delish! I've never even seen a jicima, let alone know what they taste like, but now I have a reason to find out!LOVE your creativity!& hope Basil's feeling much better real soon!~Anastazia~
